I have used this at least 7 times. Immediate Response has worked on 2 year olds to seniors, geldings and mares, over weight and hard keepers. I always call my vet as soon as I see colic symptoms, when I have used Immediate Response my horses are usually better and coming out of the discomfort before the vet arrives.

I have recommended ithis it several others, they have used it with similar results.

I had heard about this product and decided to get some to keep on hand. A few months later my young mare was pawing and acting like she might colic. Her gut sounds were weak, showing no interest in her feed. Gave her a dose of the IR and sat with her for about 10 minutes keeping an eye on her. She started to perk up some. Went in and finished getting ready for work, went out and she was eating, grab the stethoscope and her gut noises were much improved, all in the span of about 45 minutes. Went home at noon and she was acting her usual self, playing with her Jolly Ball. Listened to her gut again, good strong gut sounds. Respiratory rate was also back to normal.I try to always make sure I keep 2 tubes in my first aid kit at all times now.

We keep tubes in barn and both trailers. Useful to administer early is suspicious of stress or gastric distress. Having been through a colic surgery, we are very aware of signs that something is not right. We now use Immediate Response if at all looks awry. Other show friends have borrowed our tubes for horses showing discomfort. They wished they had stocked their own tubes!
